the bench’s reaction to myers’ goal
This is making me insane. Obi-Wan's just sadly standing and twiddling his thumbs waiting for Anakin to approach him after his knighting ceremony. And Anakin rushes off, so Obi-Wan trails behind him like a sad dog hoping that Anakin turns around and spots him. AND ANAKIN NEVER DOES.
Instead of turning around and spotting Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan has to witness how his body language changes from joy and it's Padme he saw (I bet for a second he hoped that reaction was for him).
And be stands there watching their whole interaction (obsessing over what ot means) and it affects him so much he let's out an: "Oh."
He was just informed of the first act of war after Genosis and 4000 casualties and was stoic. Anakin showing affection thats reciprocated makes him go "Oh."
Then when Anakin and Padme separate, Obi-Wan continues staring at Anakin and comparing his behaviour with Padme to some random dude. And he is so focused on STARING AT ANAKIN that master jedi Kenobi doesn't notice Padmes whole posse of handmaidens walking right up to him.
SCREAMING. Obi-Wan is a disaster.
you said to send songs that remind you of ships so. hotel california is the most everyone/bruce song to me EVER whether it’s platonic or romantic i feel like it perfectly encapsulates how many of them feel about him.
especially with what i understand of the way jason’s currently being written, with him coming back to bruce no matter how badly he hurts him.
some of the Most bat lines to me are
this song has been Haunting me. they are all willingly trapped with each other forever no matter what. even when bruce was presumed DEAD their lives STILL orbited around his.
i want to live in your brain so badly. you get it. you REALLY get it oh my god. Bruce is the addiction that none of the Batfam can seem to let go of. all of them *could* leave, especially as they've gotten older. but i've thought a lot about how Jason forgives Bruce again and again in the current run. because it does sort of feel in character for the character Jason is in Rebirth, constantly compromising his morals to work with Bruce or the other Batfam. he will discard everything he is to try to get back in with the family and try to change, always failing inevitably but trying again anyway.
the song is so good at just. describing how it's a toxic and unhealthy, bordering on abusive relationship and yet one they're choosing to be in. i especially like the line "we are programmed to receive, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" because it REALLY gets it. Bruce made them this well. he designed every Robin to be dependent on him for their identity and guidance through the world and it led each of them to hate him. yet they won't leave and it's by their own choice, to some degree. all for different reasons, but all attached to Bruce. i really like it as a BruJay song, but i think it also works so well for BruDick or BruTim. Dick, who can't seem to keep crawling back to Bruce and said he would die for Bruce even when they were at their worst. and Tim who has just *always* orbited Batman in some way and can't seem to find an identity outside to orbiting Batman, hence not being able to move on from Robin. it's why so many recent Detective Comics arc have had Tim as the dutiful soldier, finding Bruce during Failsafe, loyal to trying to save Bruce form himself during Gotham War, telling Bruce not to take him to a hospital when he was shot in the neck because he'd rather die than compromise Bruce's mission. and that's his *choice*, he let himself get this tangled with Bruce, knowing what it would become.
all of them hate Bruce in some way and don't want to become him but also can't seem to stop getting pulled in. always craving something they don't have with Bruce anymore, too. they all want to relive those Glory Days. i think that reflects well in the song lyric about wanting a wine that hasn't been around since 1969, craving something that's been gone for years yet they can't stop reaching out for that perfect relationship they all once had with Bruce. because at some point all of them had *all* of Bruce's attention, his love and approval. and then it somehow got ripped away. for Dick, for Jason, for Steph, for Cass, for Tim, it comes for them all eventually. he will never be satisfied and will move on. and they know that but they still choose to stay for the glimpse of heaven.
i like the line of killing the beast too, bc i see it both as wanting to kill the want inside of them for Bruce, and just wanting to kill Bruce in general. (for Jason and/or Steph specifically) how do they kill these feelings they keep coming back to. you've given me endless brainrot i'm never going to forget about. i'm unwell.
DnD murder mystery !!SOLVED!!
My players did it and I'm so proud of them :)
